U.S.-based plant-based meat producer Beyond Meat reported a decline in revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025, missing analysts’ expectations due to weak demand and restructuring costs, while posting a profit driven by one-off financial effects.

For the quarter, the company’s revenue totalled $61.6 million, down 20% year-over-year and below the market forecast of $62.57 million. Loss per share amounted to $0.29. At the same time, net income reached $409.9 million, largely due to a $549 million non-cash gain related to debt restructuring.

The decline in sales was primarily driven by weak demand for plant-based meat alternatives, as well as reduced shipments to quick-service restaurant chains in both the U.S. and international markets. Additional pressure on financial results came from restructuring costs, including SKU rationalization, discontinuation of certain product lines, asset write-downs, and the cessation of operations in China.

The company also reported higher production costs due to rising raw material prices and inventory-related expenses, which negatively impacted margins.

For the first quarter of 2026, Beyond Meat expects revenue in the range of $57–59 million. The company highlighted elevated market uncertainty and is focusing on stabilizing sales and improving profitability throughout the year.
